Chapter 1551 - Mutated Monsters (Part 1)

"Do I get equipment for this mission or in exchange for my services?" Nalrond asked.

"Yes." Faluel's words brought a smile to his face. "If you find it while on the job. As I said multiple times, you are not my apprentice and magical materials don't grow on trees."

The Rezar inwardly cursed at the Hydra, leaving the lair first.

"What about me? I worked my ass off for you for years." Protector said.

"You did it in exchange for my lessons and for the resources you needed to make your home as comfortable as Lith's." She replied. "But you are right, I can't send you there with Lith's prototypes for equipment…

"Ajatar would never let me hear the end of it, bragging about how he treats his apprentice better at every occasion he gets."

"Are you really giving me equipment only to not look bad in an Awakened measuring contest?" Protector was flabbergasted.

"Of course. You've been benched for months now and before that, you spent most of your time working as a mercenary. Take a lesson from Lith. He makes his own equipment and owns his own materials." Faluel said with the prideful stinginess typical of all Dragons.

Protector had many mean things he would have liked to say, but the full suit of Adamant armor along with the Adamant mace shut his mouth. He held in his arms a treasure worthy of a magical bloodline, worth enough to buy Lutia a few times and leave something to spare.

"Does it grow in size with me?" He asked.

"Don't push your luck, furball." She replied with a snarl. "It will shapeshift to keep your vitals protected in your Skoll form but that's it."

Protector imprinted the equipment and gave it a quick go. His human form was fully covered, but once he turned into an Emperor Beast, the armor only covered his heart, head, and spine.

"Any advice for me?" Quylla asked.

Despite her brave front, she was intimidated by the task at hand. Not because of its difficulty but because every time she went on the field something bad happened.

"Yes. Try to not rely on any of your companions at all times. Morok would have done this mission solo if it wasn't for Glemos. Nalrond and Protector could do the same but we are sending them together as a failsafe.

"I'm sending you as well so that you can test the limits of your human body. With your equipment and all the training you had, you should be on their level so every time you need help means that you're doing something wrong." Faluel said.

Quylla swallowed several lumps of saliva, suddenly feeling as if it was the night before the exams at the White Griffon academy and she was still a student.

The next day, they met at Faluel's a few hours past sunrise. Due to time zones, they would arrive at Ajatar's lair while in the Weghan region was still dawn. The Warp Array led them in the central part of the Griffon Kingdom where the Tyrant and the Drake were waiting for them.

"I missed you so much, sweetheart!" Morok threw his arms at Quylla and she threw Bloodbind at him, slamming the Tyrant against the ground just like she had done with the Rezar the day before.

"That's why she moved that fast. Quylla must have gotten a lot of practice keeping Morok's hands off her." Nalrond said.

"Indeed." Ajatar didn't even try to defend his disciple.
